Seeking the Way of Immortality

During this period, Wu Zheng and others were divided into twelve teams, with each of the nine golden pythons in one team, Liu Qian and Qingluan in one team, Yin Mengyao and Lei Long in one team, and Wu Zheng himself in one team, to search for spiritual materials everywhere.

It took three full months for the twelve teams to go in twelve directions and cover the tens of thousands of miles of the Eastern Region. During this period, Liu Qian did not return to the family, but while searching for spiritual materials, she also inquired about the family's situation and understood the family's recent movements.

It must be said that the Eastern Region is rich in ores. Wu Zheng collected almost all the spiritual materials that were lacking in refining his own magic weapon, leaving only the most important and precious five kinds of spiritual materials, such as purple thunder wood, Yuanguang stone, sea blue silver, dark stone and nine-son jade.

However, in contrast, in the Eastern Region, where there are more ores, there are very few spiritual herbs. The twelve teams only filled a storage ring, but most of them are quite precious.

As for materials such as ores, it can be said that Wu Zheng and his companions won a great victory this time, but it was mainly because the nine golden pythons harvested more.

The nine golden pythons directly used their bodies to shuttle back and forth in the East Region. When they encountered ores and other things, they put them into storage rings without hesitation. This time, Wu Zheng filled dozens of storage rings with ores alone, but most of them were relatively low-level.

Materials such as cold jade, flame crystal, and iron are simply countless.

Of course, Wu Zheng and his companions' wanton collection of spiritual materials also caused dissatisfaction among some forces, but when the nine golden pythons gathered, the cultivators in the East Region shut their mouths and ignored the behavior of Wu Zheng and his companions. Just kidding, that was a fourth-order early stage demon beast! Who dares to take it lightly!

Three months later, Wu Zheng and his companions had appeared in Pingyang City, near Liu Qian's family. The three did not rush in. The nine golden pythons and spiritual beasts such as Qingluan and Leilong had been collected by Wu Zheng and his companions.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Zheng taught the two women the fighting skills of the attribute spirit pets. The two women who had practiced the "Beast Taming Art" were basically able to use it instantly, but unfortunately they could not establish a connection with their spirit pets, let alone use the inherited skills of the spirit pets. The two women could only store the spirit pets in their dantian.

And their spirit beasts could only live in the dantian of the two women, but this alone made the two women very happy.

After all, spirit beasts like Thunder Dragon and Blue Luan are generally unwilling to stay in the beast storage bag, and the two women have no storage space, so being able to store the spirit beasts in their bodies is already a great gain!

After collecting a lot of materials, Wu Zheng and the other two directly locked the scope of activities near Pingyang City so that Liu Qian could inquire about the family situation.

It only took three days for Wu Zheng and the other two to find out all the forces in Pingyang City clearly through various means.

Pingyang City is now said to be the power of the three major families, but in fact it has become the four major families. The City Lord's Mansion has risen as an official force, just like a boss.

In addition to the open and secret struggles of the original Huang, Miao, and Liu forces in Pingyang City, in fact, Pingyang City has already been in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion. However, the three major families have been passed down for hundreds of years and still have some foundation, so the City Lord's Mansion is not in a hurry to take action.

The current situation of the Liu family is very bad. If it weren't for Liu Shan's few brushes, the Liu family would have been swallowed up by the other three major forces! However, even so, the Liu family is almost there. The younger generation of the Liu family has not grown up, but the older generation is already old, which can be said to be a lack of successors.

The generation of Liu Qian's father Liu Ping has basically been killed and injured in the battles over the years, so the current situation of the Liu family is extremely embarrassing.

Liu Shan is only a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. His life span is still limited. Moreover, as he ages, his physical functions are constantly declining. Now Liu Shan is getting worse day by day!

Moreover, compared with the Liu family, the situation of the Miao and Huang families is not good, but at least they are not in a crisis of lack of successors, and they can spend most of their time on developing the family power.

In recent years, the Liu family's shops in Pingyang City have been suppressed by the three major forces. It has dropped from a quarter of Pingyang City to less than one-tenth now.

The elders hired from outside the Liu family have also left the Liu family for various reasons. Now only some cultivators of the Liu family are still struggling to support the Liu family.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Liu family is very united. Even now, they have not given up struggling. This is also the reason why the Liu family can survive until now.

As soon as she entered Pingyang City, Liu Qian couldn't help but get excited. She wanted to go back to the Liu family now, but she couldn't.

Pingyang City, Taihe Restaurant, a man and two women sat by the window on the second floor. The man was plain and the woman was beautiful. Almost the moment the three entered Pingyang, they became the focus of Pingyang City. The aura exuded by the three was obviously that of Jindan-stage masters, so few people dared to disturb them.

However, there are always blind people in any place, and Pingyang City is no exception.

In addition to the Huang, Miao, and Liu families, Pingyang City also has the Wang family, the city lord's mansion of Pingyang City. As the official power of Pingyang City, the Wang family has always been above the Huang, Miao, and Liu families.

"Master, let's not go up!" An old man who looked like a servant said to a young man.

"Old Zhang, what are you afraid of? Who dares not to give face to my Wang family in Pingyang City?" The young man said arrogantly, as if Pingyang City was his home.

After hearing his voice, many monks around him took a detour and left far away, as if they were avoiding something.

The young master of the Wang family, named Wang Yuhan, is the sixth son of the lord of Pingyang City. He usually relies on his father's power to bully men and women and do all kinds of bad things. Once he causes trouble, he asks his father to take action to settle it. Therefore, although the people in Pingyang City want to eat his flesh alive, they dare not speak out because of his father's tyranny.

This time it was also a coincidence. As soon as Wu Zheng and the other two entered Pingyang City, someone came to report to Wang Yuhan that a stunning woman appeared in Pingyang City.

When Wang Yuhan heard this, he rewarded the man with a few spiritual stones on the spot and asked him to lead the way, so a group of people appeared at the door of Taihe Restaurant.

The person who reminded Wang Yuhan was a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, named Zhang Mingyi, who was sent by Wang Yuhan's father Wang Xuanru to protect Wang Yuhan. In Wang Xuanru's opinion, a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan in Pingyang City was enough to handle all matters. After all, Pingyang City was his world, and who dared not give face.

Zhang Mingyi sensed the breath of Wu Zheng and the other two almost instantly, so he reminded Wang Yuhan.

"Xiao Liuzi, are those two beauties here?" Wang Yuhan didn't care about Zhang Mingyi's reminder at all, and pointed to the young cultivator who reported the news to him and asked.

"Young master, look, it's the three people sitting by the window." Xiao Liuzi pointed to the window where Wu Zheng and the other two were and said.

"Well, not bad, hehe, it's really the most beautiful in the world." Wang Yuhan said with a lewd smile, and he didn't care about the breath of Wu Zheng and the other two.

In his opinion, Pingyang City belongs to his Wang family, and even the Huang, Miao, and Liu families cannot do it.

"Master, do you think we should call some more people? The strength of those three people is extraordinary!" Zhang Mingyi reminded again.

Wu Zheng and the other two have already discovered Wang Yuhan and others, but the three of them are just a group of people, and they don't care about the conversation between Wang Yuhan and others.

"Xiao Liuzi, go and call those two beauties over, and say that it was me who asked. Oh, no, I'd better go by myself, so that I can look more elegant." Wang Yuhan said to himself, and he ignored Zhang Mingyi's reminder at all.

Zhang Mingyi sighed, followed Wang Yuhan helplessly, and walked towards Taihe Building.
